Peak Hour of Power

From the AMF's Victoria Park track to the Gouger Street Party, the Peak Hour of Power will feature drivers including Craig Lowndes, Garth Tander, Cam Waters and Troy Bayliss, and an incredible lineup of racing machinery, all making their way through Adelaide's Friday night traffic to the Gouger Street Party. There you'll be able to see these vehicles up close, along with 200+ cars from the Adelaide Rally.

There aren't many places in the world where you'll see a cavalcade of classic and contemporary cars like this on city streets, followed by the chance to see them up close, talk to the drivers and soak up the party atmosphere, so put this one in your diary now.

Peak Hour of Power commences at 5:45pm from Victoria Park on Friday December 8, heads up Wakefield Street through Victoria Square, then turns left onto Morphett Street before finishing in Gouger Street. Find yourself a good viewing position, then join us for the party. And don't forget to buy your tickets for the AMF to see these vehicles at speed on the track.

The parade includes:

2007 Ferrari FXX - driver Craig Lowndes

The FXX is one of the world’s most exclusive cars. Based on the Enzo, only 30 were ever built, and they were only ever sold in Europe to existing Ferrari owners, who are only allowed to drive the car on track days approved by Ferrari. Its 6.3 litre V12 engine makes 800 horsepower (and an incredible sound)

2000 Arrows A21 Formula One - driver Josh Kean

Mark Webber was a test driver for Arrows when this car was being developed. It was notable for being a full-carbon car, including the tub, wishbones, brakes and even the gearbox casing.

1986 BMW Benetton Formula One - driver Cameron Waters

The Benetton B186 was driven by Gerhard Berger in the 1986 Formula One season. Its BMW M12 engine put out around 1400hp in qualifying trim, making it the most powerful F1 engine ever raced.
